A NIGHTCLUB has been engulfed in a race row after a group of young women who travelled 100 miles to a nightclub were refused entry - because they were "too black".

A group of women were turned down from a nightclub because they were "too black"

The women claim bouncers turned them away because there were too many black people in the club before letting in two members of the group with lighter skin.

The incident at Bambu Bar in Birmingham comes after protests over a similar incident in which a group of women were denied entry to a London nightclub because they were considered "too dark" and "overweight".

Jess Gregory had arranged for 10 friends to travel 100 miles from their homes in Luton to Birmingham to celebrate a friend's birthday at the nightclub.
